Summary of Driving Factors: -

Aggravating factors Limited/no milk availability in the pastoral LHZs especially

Nugal and Sool Plateau

Out-migration of livestock due to heat in W. Golis & drought

High morbidity (increased incidences of diarrhea, dengue fever

& measles Sool plateau, Hawd, & West Golis) Increased food prices

Destitution- no money to purchase food

Inappropriate child feeding and care practices

Poor access to sanitation facilities and safe water in rural LHZs

Mitigating factors Increased humanitarian programmes in the region (health &

feeding facilities, WASH)

Child Health Days conducted in the area in the months ofJune2011
